2013 Kia Soul
Choose Kia Soul Style:
With funky good looks and a decent driving experience to back up its appearance, the Soul is our favorite boxy economy car. Last year brought two new engines (both with six-speed transmissions) that fix our primary complaint about a lack of oomph; the optional 2.0-liter packs 168 horses.
Nice interior for the price, sorta resembles a Stormtrooper helmet from Star Wars; what’s more practical than a box?
Automatic transmissions feel sluggish, some engine thrashiness.
Introduced for 2010; unchanged for 2013.
Behind The Wheel
Better to drive than the Nissan Cube or Scion xB. It has good steering and decent brake feel, but the manual feels ropey and the automatic a bit lazy.
